title: [Methylprednisolone sodium succinate in the profile of respiratory complications after thoracic surgical intervention].
abstract: Methylprednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) was compared in a randomized double blind study to placebo in the prevention of respiratory complications in 40 patients submitted to thoracic surgery. The results indicate that the patients who received MPSS showed a lower incidence of respiratory complications, adverse reactions, chest pain and metabolic acidosis.
